subject: Equine Insurance For Older Horses - What Are The Options? [print this page] If your horse is getting older, there's a chance that many horse insurance companies won't be willing to insure your horse once it passes a certain age.
Generally this age is around 16 years, with some companies insuring up to 15 years and others as far as 17 years.
If your horse is getting into this age range then it's time to start looking at the various insurance options out there. Just because your current horse insurance companies doesn't provide cover for older horses doesnt mean that there aren't companies out there who will.
